50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lakewood

“Staff is great, Atmosphere was relaxed. My first time there so I can only comment on the food I ate. I have not had such tender ribs in a very long time and the sauce im curious if they sell it because it was great tasting. I ordered the pull pork and boy was it tender, the beans were great with lots meat in them, and my goodness the onion rings were better than my homemade ones lol, nice and crispy full of flavor. I believe I just found my new BBQ spot. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other food I haven't tasted. I definitely recommend. Hoping they sell their BBQ sauce.“

“We recently had this AMAZING restaurant cater our wedding party and HOLY COW! They went above and beyond. They supplied the food truck so my guests could easily get their food instead of catered style and it was a huge hit!!! I want to thank the two employees who helped us out especially Tony (I hope I'm getting his name right) but he went above and beyond making sure all my guests were happy, checked in with me multiple times throughout the evening, and even packed extra food for my new husband and I to take home. It was the best decision hiring them and I would do it again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU!!!“

“We love M3mphiz Styl3z, we follow them for a reason and it’s because it is by far the best hands down BBQ I have had in this state! I’ve had the corporate BBQ places and they aren’t even in the same league as M3mphiz, absolutely love everything they have to offer, the brisket nachos are my fav, the beans are phenomenal, if you like BBQ, we’ll you’re gonna love M3mphiz, absolutely delicious!!“

“You know that expectation in your mind of what a truly good, classic burger and fries should taste like? The kind of taste that brings back great memories? That is exactly what you get at Poppa Ralph's. Absolutely delicious and exactly what I was hoping for. So good!“

“the atmosphere was great the band had just started 👌“

“I recommend because of the food, it was really good and service was fast. While eating my meal with my dad two employees began to argue and made sure the whole restaurant heard it, that part I don't recommend. If you have a problem with a coworker take care of it when there are no customers in the there.“

“Recently my sister and her family were in denver an we ordered ribs. The comments mase were "delicious" "flavorful" "best in denver". Thanks for making their last night here memorable with your great food!“

“Excellent fried chicken, Mac and cheese and very polite nice staff!!!“

“Don't go here. Especially on beef ribs day. The meat on the rib is NOT a slow cooked roast. Or if you do, carefully prepare you future travel plans, for you will return, no matter the distance or inconvenience. Best in Colorado. Beware the seduction of perfection. Guard yourself.“

“Best BBQ brisket in the Denver Metro area.... Post Oak and Riot BBQ are great too.... but Pit Fiend wins on their Bark!...... and Bite!.... melt in your mouth delicious“

“I first heard about and went to Post Oak with my daughter and son-in-law last year and was surprised to find such great bbq here in Denver! It’s actually been a little while since I’ve been over there, but a new coworker who has recently moved to Denver and lives in Highlands, asked me about restaurants and I recommended you. He loves it! Recently I swung by to take the Post up on the fantastic coupon offer for a free pulled pork sandwich. It is quite a distance from where I live (Aurora), but definitely worth the drive. It was piled high with the tender pork and those wonderful onion rings! The side of fried okra completed the meal perfectly! Thank you so much for a great lunch (and dinner). See you again soon!“

“Great service and great food!“

“Awesome, quality food! You won’t leave hungry.“

“I used to live by this place a few years ago and at the time, the food was REALLY bad. Saw some good reviews and decided to try it out again. Let me tell you--It was a whole different experience! The food was so fresh and tender, and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be coming back“

“Súper rico 😋 y excelente servicio“

“Maggie was very nice the 2 girls offered me a water without me even asking. I wasn't going to ask but I needed one. Then the brother snadwich came out looking like it was in an advertisement. And it tasted even better. It was as if the kitchen made it perfect because was for a corporate VIP. The pork ribs were tender and they even signed me up for the rewards. Also the sauce selection is outstanding they brought me out the sauces all the bottles were freshly cleaned. Great experience!“

“Their Authentic BBQ is delicious! MSU FANS.“

“Been eating Franks BBQ since they were first located in Bay City, TX. after finding out they had a location in Denver I always get my BBQ fix there. It's a long drive from Canon City, but always order a slab of ribs to go when in Denver. Franks son now runs the business. Good people and Great BBQ !“

“Wonderful service and outstanding food. Real authentic Hawaiian grinds coming from someone who grew up in Hawaii 🤙🏼“

“Brad’s Pit catered our wedding and our guests can’t stop raving about them! Brad and Jymme were professional, efficient and so helpful with all aspects of set up, prep, serving and helping us break down. Would HIGHLY recommend them for any event. Some of the best BBQ we’ve had in Colorado and we did a lot of tastings. We’ll return each year in our anniversary too!!! Thanks Brad and Jymme!“

“amazing. Just amazing!!!!“

“Went for my hubby's birthday with friends. He got the moist brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese he said it was delicious 😋. I got the half bird with green beans they have bacon very yummy, I liked the bird parts very juicy but the hubby ate the rest he said the breast part wasn't as juicy. Maybe next time I try sandwich. Sometimes the employees walk around and give samples that was great. Definitely would like to go back again sometime. The employees were also very pleasant. Nice big tables to eat at with sauce options.“

“This is by far the best BBQ ever! The only place I would recommend.“

“great customer service & atmosphere“

“This is a pretty neat place. It's a collection of businesses in a neatly organized way. BBQ, concert venue/bar, t-shirt printer, woodworker, blacksmith, gym, and more. Real eclectic mix. Lots of colors on the buildings help make the space more inviting. Many of the buildings have super high ceilings with very pretty wood trusses; cool architectural feature.There's a parking lot that runs down the middle, in between the rows of businesses, and another lot on the south side.“

“One of my top taco joints it's 1 of them places that you know you're not hungry but just because you're driving by you gotta stop and have some. keep in mind they might run for the day. You need to be an early bird for this one I think they close by noon.“

“Seasoned Swine is great BBQ restaurant. Great menu. The BBQ is really good. I usually just get a platter so I get a taste of everything. Highly recommend“

Definitely a hot spot to go to in the Denver area for entertainment and dining.if 5 stars is perfect I give it 5 stars. DocDCD“

“Utterly DELICIOUS! Intimate setting! Treat yourself!“

“Best ribs! Great service!“

“This is the spot where me and the guys would go to after work and grab a few cold beers and enjoy some great food and even greater service. The girls here are phenomenal and very friendly, it reminds me of a bar back home unfortunately they didn't have my t shirt size or hoodie size but they do sell those if your interested. If your looking for great food great atmosphere and great women this is your place. Plus they have pool tables and karaoke on Thursdays. These photos I took were from the outside patio they have.“

“This hot pot restaurant was amazing! The vegetables were incredibly fresh and there was a great variety to choose from. They also offered plenty of fish, shrimp, and other ingredients.

The staff were very friendly, and the food was served promptly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even better.

I really liked that everyone gets their own individual hot pot. There were many different soup base options available, and most of them had a slightly sweet flavor profile.

I highly recommend this place. As someone traveling, I was especially grateful to enjoy so many fresh vegetables, fish, and shrimp. It was a refreshing and satisfying meal during my trip. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! 🙏“
